The draw of the Ghantoot International Polo Championship, was conducted on Wednesday February 19, at Ghantoot Racing and Polo Club, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The last high goal contest of the 2025 season in the area, will see four teams up to 20 goals, partake – Ghantoot, Abu Dhabi, Habtoor and UAE. 

The two best positioned lineups within the final standings will qualify to the final; otherwise, in the event of a tie, they will go to a penalty shootout.

But there will be some news this year that involves religious matters. The tournament will kick off on Tuesday February 25; but since Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, will begin on March 1, all the games due from that day onwards will take place by night, in order to allow those non-muslim players to eat properly after each contest.

The final of the Ghantoot International Polo Championship will take place on Saturday March 8, and the tournament will be streamed live on POLOLINE TV.
